Lead sulfate (PbSO4)

Description:
Lead sulfate (PbSO4) is an inorganic compound characterized by its white crystalline appearance and low solubility in water. It is primarily known for its role in lead-acid batteries, where it serves as a key component in the electrochemical reactions. The compound is formed through the reaction of lead oxide with sulfuric acid and can also occur naturally as the mineral anglesite. Lead sulfate exhibits a relatively high melting point and is stable under normal conditions, although it can decompose at elevated temperatures. It is important to note that lead sulfate is considered toxic due to the presence of lead, which poses health risks upon exposure. Therefore, handling this substance requires appropriate safety measures to prevent ingestion or inhalation. In addition to its use in batteries, lead sulfate has applications in the production of pigments and as a reagent in various chemical processes. Overall, while lead sulfate has practical applications, its toxicity necessitates careful management and regulation.
